Attempt to reduce importance of Mumbai and Maharashtra: Supriya Sule

The NCP leader said there is a need of a serious chief minister to protect the rights of Maharashtra and the son of soil. “If need be, the state should have two chief ministers but don’t snatch away the employment opportunity of youths of the state,” Sule said sarcastically.

The city NCP staged a protest outside S P College on Tilak Road. Sule further stated that the Maharashtra has a tradition that it never relents to pressure of those in power at centre but the present state government decisions are taken in Delhi.

NCP MP Supriya Sule on Wednesday participated in a protest of city NCP against the state government over losing the mega Vedanta-Foxconn semiconductor project to Gujarat after it was slated to be in Maharashtra.

Hitting out at the state government led by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, Sule said the youth of state has lost the employment opportunity that was to come up with the start of the project. “There is all possible attempt to reduce the importance of Mumbai and Maharashtra. This mentality is responsible for the shifting of the mega planned project to Gujarat,” she said.
